[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter audition for 6th grade mcyo and was denied a seat. She is really good and i am wondering is it because she didn’t start with them at a young age or because during the audition their was a single judge grading her performance and just didn’t like her. They also don’t provide any feedback on why she wasn’t selected. I think for a $75 registration fee, the least they can do is give some idea why she wasn’t selected. Like if you really cared about music and helping students nurture their love for music (as they supposedly claim), you could at least tell them what they can improve on. All these practices make me wonder how true and corrupt their audition and selection process really is.[/quote]

They didn't deny her a seat.  They didn't offer her a seat and I know kids offered who were older so maybe your child isn't playing on the MCYO level you think they are.  Many kids have been in private lessons for several years by 6th grade and the skill level is amazing.  You also have to know how to sight read and many other requirements.  They cannot take everyone and only have limited seats, especially depending on the instrument.

Its absolutely not corrupt because your child didn't get in.  When mine got in, honestly I was surprised.[/quote]

OP here. My daughter has had private lessons for the past four years and her private teacher is the one who came to us and said she is ready to play for mcyo. We didn’t even know of its existence. She knew all the requirements forward and back and can sight read for the past two years. I am not saying they are corrupt but suggesting that they might be corrupt and that transparency is not there., including no feedback whatsoever. So other families can be aware if they are in the same situation as us. Also, u are surprised your child got in…this is what I mean there doesn’t seem to be consistency And transparency in the process. It’s seems like the have a hidden agenda for their results. Congrats on your child getting in![/quote]

Maybe her in-person audition just wasn't that strong this time. It happens, doesn't mean the process was corrupt. Your post is so bitter.[/quote]
